With Tottenham Hotspur's pre-season about to get under way the fans are desperate to know whether any new faces will be joining in soon.

The World Cup is hitting its business end now with plenty of Spurs players still involved, but the rest of squad is due to return on Monday to begin the hard work of preparing for the next campaign.

Tottenham are yet to add any new faces to their line-up despite plenty of rumours across the world in various media outlets, so who will be the first new player to walk through the door and will they arrive before the club's tour to the USA?

Questions on those subjects and many more have been put to our Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold who has attempted to answer them below. You can send him your questions on Twitter or Facebook.

There have also been questions on the new stadium naming rights, who will leave the club before the new season starts, whether midfielders Jack Grealish and Wilmar Barrios will be joining as well as the performances of Kieran Trippier at the World Cup, among many, many more posers.

A couple of questions in one

It's all dependent on Rose

At the moment Danny Rose doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. The main interest previously for him was from Manchester United, but that’s not the case any more. Unless Rose wants to move to someone like Everton, a good side but not a step up or sideways at this moment in time, then he’s likely to still be at Spurs next season. That cancels out a move for Grimaldo, who also would have been another foreign player for a club that has far too many for their Champions League squad. With Plea, I understand the club haven’t moved for him as of yet despite reports.

Darren Fleming asks on Facebook

Do you think Lucas will get more game time this season?

14:20

Definitely

Lucas Moura was bought very much with this season in mind. It was almost a bonus to get him early in January to stop a scrap for his services this summer. Pochettino will get a full pre-season with him when the Brazilian returns on Monday morning and the USA tour will be important for him to show what he can do against some big sides with some of the World Cup stars absent.

Ferg Ranson asks on Facebook

Will Pochettino ever turn Marcus Edwards into a Spurs regular?

14:00

I'd love to see it but time is running out

Marcus Edwards has so much talented. I’ve watched him from the stands enough times now to see one of the most gifted young players the Spurs academy has produced in a long time. But it just hasn’t happened for him for a number of reasons and after a tough 12 months or so he’s looking to move on this summer. Whether that’s permanently or on a season-long loan we’ll have to see, as talks are planned in the coming weeks, but there’s still got to be some hope that if he shines in pre-season and Pochettino takes him on the USA tour then it might all suddenly click into place. It would be such a waste if Tottenham don’t get to see the best of him.

Magnus Højer asks on Facebook

What about Vertonghen and his contract? Is it possible that he will follow Dembele and Alderweireld?

13:44

I don't believe so

Pochettino is desperate to keep Jan Vertonghen and all indications are that the player is happy at Tottenham where he was player of the season last year. I’d expect him to put pen to paper on a new deal when he returns from the World Cup.

Chris Harbach asks on Facebook

Rumours today that we’re in for Kovacic from Madrid. Any thoughts on the validity of this?

13:37

Kovacic would be a great signing

He’d perfectly replace Dembele if the Belgian does move on this summer. However, while Spurs have been monitoring the Croatia star since his Zagreb days, they didn’t make a move for him last summer despite plenty of reports that they had. The problem this year is that after Kovacic’s declaration that he will need to leave Real Madrid there will be a bidding war for him, especially if Croatia continue in the World Cup, and Spurs are unlikely to get involved in anything like that. It’s just not their way, which in this case would be a massive shame.

13:26

Colin Moore asks on Facebook

Do you think the captain’s armband should be given to an outfield player (Kane or Verts imo) and do we need to back up or upgrade a keeper (still quality and glad he is with us) that is past 30, or are are current reserves good enough?

13:25

Lloris is a respected man in the Spurs dressing room

The Frenchman has that aura about him at the club as he does with France. He’s got so much experience and he’s very close and in tune with Pochettino. The likes of Kane, Vertonghen and Dier are all potential captains, but Lloris will be the club skipper for as long as he’s at the club. In terms of his successor, Pochettino is a big fan of Gazzaniga and we can expect to see more of him next season. I’d expect Vorm to move into more of a third choice spot as the season goes on.

13:21

A question about pre-season training

What's the thinking behind the later start to #preseason training this year? What happened to Pochettino's hopes for all business to be concluded early?.

It's simply to give them more rest

In total the non-World Cup players are getting three weeks more off than last summer. The 2016/17 season ended a week later than this last one and Spurs then went on a post-season trip to Hong Kong. They’re returning a week later than normal as well this time around and after a long, hard season Pochettino felt it was important to give them some time back, particularly for players who struggled with injuries last year like Wanyama, Winks and Lamela. They’ll be back in on Monday morning raring to go. In terms of business being done early, as long as he gets a good portion of the pre-season with some new signings then it’s an improvement on last season when all the players arrived well into the season.

Dave Cheevers asks on Facebook

Are we going to name the stadium any time soon?

13:15

There's still no rush over the stadium name

Spurs want to make sure they get the right partner for the 62,062-seater stadium. There’s a confidence that this new ground will be the world’s most advanced and impressive football stadium and with the financing already in place for the construction, it could even pay Spurs to wait until the stadium opens and watch the bidding war. There’s currently every chance it will open in September with the name “Tottenham Hotspur Stadium”.

Jusay Fanonkon asks on Facebook

Do you think, if England reach the World Cup final (with our 5 players) against Belgium (with 3 of our players) it’ll boost the mental strength of those players to give us a trophy(ies) in our new stadium?

13:10

It certainly can't hurt

We’ve always been told the Spurs players don’t have a big game mentality, but apart from the big wins against top six rivals last season, the last week has proved that Tottenham players can do it on the biggest stage of all. They will all be buzzing after the events in recent days and if they can go further for England and/or Belgium then Pochettino will reap the benefits. Tony Adams might have to make a few apologies as well.

13:04

A question about Kieran Trippier

How do you see the development of Trippier? And where should he improve

It's been a great World Cup for him

Kieran Trippier has been superb out in Russia and he’ll come back with so much confidence. The wing-back role plays to all his strengths in getting him into better crossing positions although his defending has been very good as well. Serge Aurier must be watching on with a bit of dread because Trippier is only strengthening his case as Spurs’ number one. He’s had a great 18 months on the whole but there are always areas for every player to develop and for Trippier he needs to continue to work on his positioning and dealing with fast wingers as well as adding the odd goal to his game at the other end. The latter may just come if he starts to take more set pieces on his return to Spurs. I’d certainly like to see him taking more corners.

Bobby Andrews asks on Twitter

I think if Belgium go out tonight we may start to get some answers sooner rather than later. Am I fair to say they are monitoring Dembele and Toby situation before outlaying any money?

12:59

You're spot on

The club has to resolve the futures of Alderweireld and Dembele once the World Cup is done. Alderweireld is pretty much guaranteed to leave the club this summer as long as Spurs get the price they’re looking for and in United’s case, the player they want in exchange - Anthony Martial. With Dembele it’s more a case of the 30-year-old feeling that he’s coming to the end of his body being able to handle the rigours of the Premier League. Throw into that Pochettino’s physical demands and he’s looking for one last pay day in either China or Italy. Both departures would impact the finances in the kitty as well as the need to replace them both, although Grealish ticks boxes as a player to buy anyway for his potential and could be a long-term Dembele replacement.

Greg Engelberg asks on Facebook

Christian Pulisic, good idea?

12:44

He's certainly a player Spurs have been interested in for a while

However, those recent rumours about a move for him don’t actually seem to have appeared in the media outlet they were claimed to have originated in. Strange one that. In terms of a player of interest though, he certainly has been over the years. He ticks a lot of boxes for Spurs in being young, talented, creative and also handily is a name for the US market that Spurs are looking to continue to invade. His father did say recently that claims that his son was heading to the Premier League this summer were nonsense.

A question on pre-season and the new stadium

Hi Alasdair.Has Spurs' preseason started really and when will stadium be ready...Regards,From Nairobi, Kenya.

Pre-season is starting very soon and the new stadium isn't far behind

(Image: Alasdair Gold)

The development squad and academy returned this week, Monday morning to be precise, while the first team non-World Cup players will be returning to Hotspur Way this coming Monday morning. As for the new stadium it’s opening officially for the match against Liverpool on September 15, a lunch-time kick-off, and the match is going to be televised on Sky Sports.

Another quick Spurs fixture announcement

We are pleased to announce that our first team will face @GironaFC in a pre-season friendly next month:

A question about Harry Kane

Harry Kane is going nowhere

That new six-year deal was perfectly timed before the World Cup. Any team would have to break the world record to sign him and Spurs just won’t sell. He represents everything they’re trying to do. Lose Kane and you’d probably lose Pochettino and a number of other stars very quickly. Add to that that Kane is very happy at Spurs and any move away is just not going to happen. As for your other questions, yes there will be signings and I’d imagine Grealish could be the first.
